  2. 1. Electron Heating and Acceleration at Earth’s Collisionless Bow Shock

    Author : Martin Lindberg; Andris Vaivads; Philippe Savoini; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Electron; heating; Acceleration; MMS; Shock; space; plasma; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

    Abstract : Cosmic rays are ultra-relativistic particles traveling near the speed of light permeating the galaxy. Collisionless shock waves with their ubiquity throughout the universe and excellent capability of accelerating charged particles offer an explanation to the origin of cosmic rays. READ MORE

  4. 2. The importance of waves in space plasmas : Examples from the auroral region and the magnetopause

    Author : Gabriella Stenberg; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Space and plasma physics; Plasma waves; magnetospheric physics; magnetopause; auroral region; wave distribution function; space exploration; reconnection; current tubes; Rymd- och plasmafysik; Space physics; Rymdfysik; rymdfysik; Space Physics;

    Abstract : This thesis discusses the reasons for space exploration and space science. Space plasma physics is identified as an essential building block to understand the space environment and it is argued that observation and analysis of space plasma waves is an important approach.Space plasma waves are the main actors in many important processes.

  5. 3. Alfvén Waves and Energy Transformation in Space Plasmas

    Author : Yuri Khotyaintsev; Kalevi Mursula; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Space and plasma physics; Alfvén waves; particle acceleration; ionosphere; magnetopause; magnetic reconnection; Rymd- och plasmafysik; Space physics; Rymdfysik; Space Physics; rymdfysik;

    Abstract : This thesis is focused on the role of Alfvén waves in the energy transformation and transport in the magnetosphere. Different aspects of Alfvén wave generation, propagation and dissipation are considered. The study involves analysis of experimental data from the Freja, Polar and Cluster spacecraft, as well as theoretical development. READ MORE

  6. 4. Microsystem Interfaces for Space

    Author : Hugo Nguyen; Greger Thornell; Johan Köhler; Staffan Greek; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Engineering physics; microelectromechanical system; interface; microfluidics; nanosatellite; space; microsystems; filter; valve; MST; MEMS; Teknisk fysik;

    Abstract : Microsystem interfaces to the macroscopic surroundings and within the microsystems themselves are formidable challenges that this thesis makes an effort to overcome, specifically for enabling a spacecraft based entirely on microsystems. The NanoSpace-1 nanospacecraft is a full-fledged satellite design with mass below 10 kg. READ MORE
